9 Best Home Remodeling Contractors in Montreal, QC (2026)
TenBestFind ranks 9 remodeling contractors in Montreal, QC. Each company was checked against the criteria set out under How we chose. Lists name up to ten companies, and this one stops at 9 because only 9 met them. The list was last reviewed on October 30, 2026.
Among home remodeling companies in Montreal, DCR Renovation & Construction Montreal, Rénovation Centrale and Constructeurs De Qualité lead our list, with DCR carrying the deepest review base at 588 Google reviews and a 4.9 rating. All nine companies have a Montreal address, a working website, a logo, a rating of 4.7 or better from at least 51 Google reviews, and photos of finished kitchens, bathrooms, basements or additions. Construction Daniel Dargis has the engineers for structural work, Espé Montréal designs and builds under one roof, and Rénovations Glinka keeps the latest hours at 9 p.m. Five of the nine publish an RBQ licence number on their own sites, and the four that do not are flagged so you can ask before you sign.
Montreal is a renovation city. Plexes and duplexes in the Plateau, Rosemont and Villeray, brick bungalows in LaSalle and Saint-Laurent, and post-war homes in Notre-Dame-de-Grâce all come with kitchens, bathrooms and basements that are decades old. Basements get finished or reworked after water problems, and plex owners often convert or extend, which pulls in structural work. Every borough issues its own permits, so ask your contractor who applies and which rules your borough applies. In Quebec a contractor needs a licence from the Régie du bâtiment du Québec (RBQ) with the right subclass for the work, and you can check any number on the RBQ website before you sign. Construction trades are also regulated by the Commission de la construction du Québec (CCQ), and electrical and plumbing work must be done under a master electrician or master plumber. A licence does not replace a written contract, so get an itemized quote, the warranty terms and proof of insurance in writing. This ranking lists companies that have a Montreal address and strong Google reviews. We read the licence numbers companies publish on their own sites, but we did not independently confirm them on the RBQ register, so please do that yourself.

Methodology
How we chose the best remodeling contractors in Montreal
We read Google Maps results for "home remodeling contractor in Montreal, QC" and "renovation company Montreal" on October 30, 2026. Each company had to be operating, rated 4.5 or higher from at least 50 Google reviews, and show a street address inside the City of Montreal or one of its boroughs, a working website, a logo and real project photos. We rejected addresses outside the city such as Dorval, lead-generation sites, single-trade and asbestos or mold firms, companies below 50 reviews, and one company with no logo. The order follows Google's results, with Espé Montréal placed by its position in our second search. Rénovation Centrale lists a suite in an office building, so call ahead. Groupe Project Reno, Universal Renovations, Double A Construction and Espé Montréal publish no RBQ number on the pages we read, and some of their pages were thin, so verify their licences first. Licence numbers are as published on each company's own site and were not checked on the RBQ register. No company paid for a place. Ratings and review counts were read on October 30, 2026.
How do I check a Montreal renovation contractor's licence?
Search the contractor's number in the Régie du bâtiment du Québec (RBQ) licence lookup on the RBQ website and confirm the licence is valid and has the subclass for your type of work. Ask for proof of insurance, check whether trade work is done by CCQ-registered workers, and note that electrical and plumbing work must be done under a master electrician or master plumber. Several companies in this ranking publish an RBQ number on their own sites, and four do not, so ask them for it.
How much does a home renovation cost in Montreal?
It depends on scope, finishes and the age of the building, and few of the nine companies here publish full prices. Double A Construction has a renovation price page and Espé Montréal sells fixed-price packages. Ask every contractor for a written itemized quote that separates labour, materials, permits and allowances, and compare at least two quotes for the same scope.
Do I need a permit to renovate a plex or finish a basement in Montreal?
Often yes. Montreal's boroughs issue building permits, and structural changes, additions and changes of use generally need one, while minor cosmetic work may not. Ask your contractor in writing who applies for the permit, and check the rules with your borough office before work starts. Firms such as Construction Daniel Dargis and Espé Montréal say they can draw plans for structural work.
